`such' as will` enable `others skilled in the art `to which ,it appertains-to' make' and use the Stime'. e i.

The presentinvention relates to a Hy swatter and has for its'lobjectto provide a device .of thischaract'erfin the` forrn of a toy gun `thereby 'providing a toy which `With the above and other objectsin view which will hereinafter appearas the def y. scription continues, the invention consists of the novel features of construction, combina# tion and" formation of parts as will, be here( inaftergrnore 'fully described and particullarly pointed out in the appended claims.

e ln' the accompanyingfdrlawings has been 4shown-'the simple and preferred form of the invention, it being,hwever, understood that v` l no limitation is 'necessarily made to the kprecise structural detailsherein exhibited,

but the right is hereby reserved to any changes, alterationsk or modilications -to which recourse may be had that come within the -scope of theclaims without departing from the spirit of the. invention or sacrifiei ing the yefliciency of the same.

ln the accompanying drawings: nFigure l is a perspective view of the device embodying the present invention vwhei'i presented' for use;

vfthe position of the trigger when the Fig.V 2 is a perspectivev view when the `swatter has been released;

Fig. 3 is a sectional view showing the position of the triggery when cocked;

Fig. 4 is a detail sectional view showing swatn ter has been released; and,

Fig. 5 is a detail transverse sectional view taken on the line 5-5 of Fig. 3.

teralviews, .t The numeral l indicates a handle having theconfiguration of a pistol and which is preferably made of cast iron, but, of course,` it may be made of any Referring now more particularly to the accompanying drawings wherein like and correspondingparts are designated by similar reference characters throughout the sevl other suitable maten rial. The ,barreled end of the gun 2 is `provided withk a slot in which is arranged the inner end ofa leaf spring 3. Carried by the outer or free endof this leaf spring isa ily swatter whichgis preferably made' circular in eonfgurationand consisting of a netting 4: which is surrounded by av felt padding 5 and the latter protects the furniture or other articlesfroml becoming scratched or otherwise injured when the swat comes in contact therewith. rlhehandlel is provided witha vertical opening in which is pivotally mounted a trigger 6. rlhe upperend of this trigger is provided with a hook 7 to which isadapted to `be 'connected a ring 9 connected to the outer end of the leaf spring 3 by ineans of the link l0. Formed integral with the handle l is a pair of vertically project- `ing lugs 11 forming a bridge and the hooked end of the trigger is adapted to pass between the lugs 11. 'llhe inner end of the leaf spring 3 is secured within the handle l by means ofthe cross pins as shown and the inner `extremity of the leaf spring l2 restsupon the trigger 6 soas to normally hold the hooked end thereof between the lugs ll. This hook 7 projects normally beyond the bridge so that the ring 9 may beconnected 4thereto as better shown in Figs.`

l and 3. When the ring 9 is connected to the hook 7. the swatter is bent back over the handle l as shown, in a position to swat a ily. When thecoperator desires' to release the swatter he may doso by pulling upon the trigger 6 and the bridge will cause the ring 9 to be released from the hook and the leaf spring 3 will cause the swatter to assume the position as shown in Fig. 2 ofthe drawings.

Having thus fully described my invention, what l claim as new and desire to secure by v. Letters Patent is:

leaf spring secured within said handle and'` having one end normally resting upon said trigger, a swatter carried by the opposite end of said leaf spring, means for connectingthe free end of said SWatter tosaid trigger and means formed with the handle for releasing the swatter from said trigger when the trigger is moved substantially as and for the purpose specified.

2. A yygun ofthe character described comprising a handle, a trigger pivotally mounted within said handle, a hook formed with said trigger, a leaf spring, one end of said leaf spring being secured Within said handle and normally resting against said trigger, a swatter carried by the opposite end of said leaf spring, a link connected to said leaf spring, a ring carried by said link, a bridge formed with said handle, said hook carried by said trigger normally resting Within said bridge, said ring adapted to be 10 connected to vsaid hook and said bridge adapted to cause said ring to be released from said hook When the trigger has been moved substantially as and for the purpose specified.

In Witness whereof I have hereunto set my 15 hand.
